Mr. K's Original BBQ

East Texas and Louisiana family recipes shape a menu that reaches well beyond smoked meat. Brisket, beef ribs, and hot links share space with catfish, collard greens, sweet potatoes, macaroni and cheese, and peach cobbler. The no frills dining room keeps attention on generous plates and inherited flavors, making Mr. K's as useful for Southern sides as for barbecue.

Picks from Tucson Weekly, Arizona Daily Star, and Tucson Foodie

Mr. K's has served Tucson since 1997 with a no frills approach to smoked meat. Hot links, brisket, and beef ribs are natural starting points, while the three meat combo lets a table compare textures and spice. The South Park dining room feels rooted in the neighborhood, and the menu stays centered on generous, traditional barbecue plates.
